Arte y geología: Historia y contemporaneidad de las artes y lo geológico.

Art and geology: History and contemporaneity of the arts and the geological.

ARTISTIC creation; ART; GEOLOGY; HOOFS; THEORY-practice relationship

Los métodos sin teoría son impensables en la creación artística; la teoría y la práctica no son contrarias, sino complementarias. En 1878 la fotografía posibilitó la descomposición del movimiento, y con este hecho muchas ideas se revelaron erróneas. Muybridge, pudo comprobar que los cuatro cascos de una yegua despegaban del suelo a la vez, lo que contradecía las ideas vigentes hasta entonces. Estos estudios científicos y técnicos incidieron en artistas como Degas, Puvis de Chavannes o Rodin, evidenciando la estrecha relación entre arte, ciencia y tecnología. A partir de esta introducción el texto describe diversos proyectos de arte que vengo realizando desde 2005, entre artes visuales y geología. Se explican los métodos de investigación artística, la metodología teórica, la idea o el concepto, y la metodología práctica, la materialización de esa idea en las artes plásticas y su estrecho vínculo con la geología y otras ciencias de la naturaleza.

Methods without theory are unthinkable in artistic creation; Theory and practice are not opposite, but complementary. In 1878 photography made possible the decomposition of movement, and with this fact many ideas were revealed to be wrong. Muybridge could verify that the four hooves of a mare took off from the ground at the same time, which contradicted the ideas in force until then. These scientific and technical studies influenced artists such as Degas, Puvis de Chavannes or Rodin, evidencing the close relationship between art, science, and technology. From this introduction the text describes various art projects that I have been doing since 2005, between visual arts and geology. The methods of artistic research, the theoretical methodology, the idea or concept, and the practical methodology, the materialization of that idea in the plastic arts and its close link with geology and other natural sciences are explained.
